In-house knitting capacity producing single jersey, interlock, fleece, pique and specialty constructions for apparel and home-textile buyers across 100+ countries.
Knitted fabric and woven fabric are different businesses. They use different machinery, different yarn handling, different finishing — and reward different operational disciplines. Our knitting operation is built and managed as its own discipline, with dedicated machinery, dedicated yarn flow and dedicated quality control.
We produce knitted fabric for apparel manufacturers, home-textile converters and our own integrated programs. The same vertical-integration principle applies: yarn comes in, knitted fabric goes out — every stage in between happens in our facility.

Quality and Performance Standards
Our knitted fabric ships with documented performance data on the parameters that matter:
Parameter
Standard Range
Why It Matters
GSM (Grams per Square Meter)
120 to 320 GSM typical
Determines weight, hand and price tier
GSM tolerance
±5% per roll
Drives consistency across cutting
Shrinkage (after wash)
Typically <5%
Critical for fit retention
Spirality
Typically <5%
Affects garment cut quality
Color fastness (wash)
Grade 4 minimum
Industry standard for retail
Color fastness (rub)
Grade 4 dry / 3-4 wet
Determines acceptability for apparel
Pilling resistance
Grade 3-4 minimum after 5,000 cycles
Long-term wear performance
Performance reports for specific lots are provided with shipment documentation and on request.
Sourcing Knitted Fabric Well
If you're sourcing knitted fabric for the first time, the most expensive mistake is buying on yarn count and GSM alone. Three hidden variables matter more:
Yarn quality. Two yarns at the same count can produce knits with completely different feel, drape and durability. Carded vs combed cotton, ring-spun vs open-end, contamination control at the spinning stage — all of these show up in the finished fabric long after the spec sheet has been signed.
Knitting tension. A loose knit and a tight knit at the same GSM behave differently in cut and sew. Tension consistency across the production run is one of the things experienced apparel manufacturers test for in fabric trials.
Finishing chemistry. Knit hand-feel comes from the finishing line, not the loom. The same greige fabric finished by two different mills can feel like different products — and the cheaper finish is almost always the one that drifts after the second wash.
